Macron always has a knack to try to use things popular with younger people to score political gains. Infamously with the ZEvent, for instance.
It is now traditional for them to answer with “Shut your mouth Macron, this isn’t about you”.
Well, with old and elderly people you get Trump, Putin and Netanyahu; so I am fine with broadly politicians to catch younger generations.
Compared to dictators (or wannabe), I get that Macron seems attractive. But he’s proven to be pro-rich (taxes on the rich have been drastically cut under Macron) and anti-democratic (he’s ignored the result of the last election and nominated a plethora of prime ministers from parties who lost).
And pro police violence. Repeatedly.
I am not that much interested in Macron (or any other) political career; I just get the signaling when a bad politician want it easy (to screw people) and go for elderly people instead to put some effort to convince the future generations.
You really think Macron has done good for France?
Shut your mouth Macron, this isn’t about you
I loved the fight mechanics and I’m sure there was a good story in there if I cared but one thing that really grinded my gears was the goddamn cutscenes. Not only that but the incessant cut scene that leads into another cut scene that leads into another cut scene. Seriously I spent half the game skipping cut scenes.
Probably full of propaganda. Why would any president care?
Wtf? Lol
Outside of America many countries have a strong sense of pride especially when something is overtly representing them and their culture.
As a Canadian if they made this game with hockey and toques I’d damn well expect the prime minister to applaud them when they won game of the year too.
I’m assuming you’re 14, so I’ll explain in simple terms: the game is a success, the game is French, the president of France is celebrating that the game of the year is French. In the process, he is trying to make himself look good.
Now want to try it less Macron has horrible judgement no reason to assume his gaming judgement is different.
Its a pretty fab game, idiot endorsement or not
Even more of a reason for me to never want to play it
If you don’t like the games that other people make, then why don’t you macron?
Can you elaborate? I feel like I am missing context or some words in your comment for it to male sense to me.
French president holding to shred of relevancy and noteworthiness tries to coopt national success he had nothing to do with. Now to our main story tonight, is the weather getting colder?
Well, in UK the queen was used to make lords people that had great merit for the nation: Sir Sinclair for the quite popular zx spectrum and Sir Terry Prachett for amazing narrative, on turtle, universe he crafted.
I don’t remember there was any requirements on political side (queen or parliament) to acknowledge people’s merit to the nation.
So… hold on, is it “a historic first”? I guess the TGAs haven’t been around that long. There have definitely been major GOTY awards for French games before, though.
